Diabetic Foot Conditions
Diabetes causes neuropathy and decreased circulation of blood in the leg. The ability to feel pain, heat and cold is lost; and hence minor cuts, scrapes, blisters and pressure sores go unnoticed. This may lead to several complications including deep ulceration and sometimes, amputation. Neuropathy can cause deformities that lead to ulcerations and callosities. Bacterial infection of these wounds is a life-threating condition for immune-compromised patients.
Charcot Foot
A very serious after-effect of diabetes that leads to poor bone density, erosionand collapse of the foot, anklebone and planter arches, charcot foot causes severe feet deformities. This in turn leads to raised plantar pressure and formation of ulcers.
